The Mozambican police say they have detained two health workers for their alleged involvement in the forgery, issuing and sale of Covid-19 vaccine cards.
The two, a government general medical practitioner and an intern, had been assigned to the Bagamoyo health centre in the capital, Maputo.
Police seized the forged cards and various medical material including medicine from them.
The cards were being sold at $235 (£172) each.
The medical practitioner denied involvement in forgery but admitted to handing out two cards to the intern without prior knowledge on her plan.
He said the cards found in his vehicle were placed there to implicate him.
The 24-year-old intern said someone approached her and enticed her to acquire the cards that she took from the practitioner.
According to police, the two are expected to appear before court soon.
